In 2012, Cameron led his eighth deep ocean expedition to some of the deepest trenches in the world. He is a member of the Deep Submersible Pilots Association. He has spent over 3000 hours underwater, and made 75 deep submersible dives. Other expeditions included exploration of the German battleship Bismarck in 2002, and hydrothermal vents in the Atlantic, Pacific and Sea of Cortez in 20. His research has led to a definitive understanding of the forensics of the Titanic’s sinking. He has dived that wreck 33 times, and spent over a hundred hours piloting small remotely operated vehicles of his own design inside the wreck, to create an archeological survey of the interior.
Cameron has led eight deep ocean expeditions from 1995 to 2012, including three to the Titanic wreck. He has also developed unprecedented deep ocean exploration vehicles, lighting and 3D camera equipment. The system packs two Venice 6K HDR cameras, two 10:1 zoom lenses and an 11-axis motion-control system into a 38 pound hand-held 3D rig, which Cameron operates personally during filming. In 2018, working with Sony again, Cameron developed a 3D version of the Venice CineAlta camera for the filming of the “Avatar” sequels. “Avatar” won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, and in three out of four years (from 2009 to 2012), the cinematography Oscar was won by films using Cameron’s 3D systems (“Avatar,” “Hugo,” “Life of Pi”). “Avatar” was shot with cameras developed by Cameron’s company, CPG, in collaboration with Sony. He was at the vanguard of the 3D renaissance that has transformed the movie industry in recent years. Over the last 20 years Cameron developed cutting edge 3D camera systems for movies and documentaries, as well as for broadcast sports and special events. “Avatar” was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three. Both “Titanic” and “Avatar” won the Golden Globe for Best Director and Best Picture. Cameron also won the DGA Award for directing “Titanic,” in 1998.
Cameron's films have also earned numerous nominations and awards, most notably “Titanic”'s 14 Academy Award nominations (tied for the record) and 11 Oscars (also a record), including Cameron's own three Oscars for Best Picture, Best Direction and Best Editing. As director, writer and producer he is responsible for some of the most memorable films of the past three decades: “The Terminator,” “Aliens,” “The Abyss,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” “True Lies,” “Titanic,” and “Avatar.”įor 10 years “Avatar” was the highest grossing film in history with over $2.7 billion in global box office, beating the previous record holder, Cameron’s own film “Titanic,” which held that record for 12 years. James Cameron is an acclaimed filmmaker, explorer and environmental advocate.
